    Description

    Thank you for looking at my mom's beautiful 1977 Tommy Singer necklace, bracelet, ring.  Please look at the pictures.  If you know Tommy Singer's work from the 1970's you know you might never see another set like this again.
    My mom was in the local newspaper business.  I'm in a different industry that is also now fast eroding.   We both flew pretty high for a while.  But now you get the point why I need to sell.  My mom was a smart cookie.  She knew this day might happen which is why she willed them to me and wrote down all of the details before she passed.
